Description of the walk

Car park at Kernisi at the end of Route de la Grève. A picnic table and bench invite you to park nearby.

(S/E) Follow the small road until you reach a coastal path sign on the right.

(1) Turn right and follow the River Camfrout upstream.

(2) Turn left at Rosmorduc Castle and head towards it, veering slightly to the left, then opposite the building's gate. Admire the façade and its inner courtyard. The building is not open to visitors. It was built for defensive purposes to protect the harbour from invaders. Walk to the north of the building to go around it. Take the small dirt track, then turn right to see the opposite façade. Return to the coastal path and turn left. A small wooden bridge allows you to cross the river. Near a house, you will find a small road leading uphill.

(3) Turn left and continue to Route de Sainte-Marguerite

(4) Turn right until you reach the chapel, which is worth visiting, with its wash house.

(5) Turn back at the crossroads.

(4) Continue straight ahead on the left-hand pavement, passing a house displaying some highly original works of art. At the end of the central block, cross over to the right-hand pavement. Take the dirt track on the right, which runs almost parallel to the road.

(6) At the crossroads, you will see a menhir on which the twelve apostles were engraved in the Middle Ages, with a cross added at the top (Croix des Douze Apôtres). Continue straight ahead. At the next crossroads, turn left and cross the road.

(7) In front of the castle gate, stay on the small road that branches off to the right until you reach the junction with the beach road.

(1) Go down to the right towards the river and the car park (S/E).
